What Makes a Boot Camp Different?
Focus on applying knowledge
Boot Camps add an extra layer of practice on top of the tell-show-do-apply learning approach of the learning modules by having learners work in groups on a pre-defined objective.
Community & teamwork
The cohort-based approach fosters a feeling of community which translates back into more collaboration on-the-job and higher employee engagement.
High engagement
Clear milestones, group work, and (optional) blended learning sessions provide accountability to keep up with the program and finish self-study modules on time.
Clear impact & ROI
The targeted nature of Boot Camps and pre-defined timeframes drive visible impact in terms of deal results in the deals that matter.
Procurement education has a clear ROI

Impact through behaviour change
As a manager, you don’t need metrics related to learning progress and grades. You are looking for on-the-job impact through observable behavior change in the deals that matter.
And that’s exactly what the hands-on training, clear timelines, and focus on a specific skill drive: behavior change!
